Sunday reminded us of the happy
days in Church work 3n years gone by

her way back to Christ. The services
throughout the day were interesting.
The pastor brought a soul stirring
message at 11 a. m. from II. Peter
1:18 “Grow in Grace and the Know,

Rev. Bryant mini his Senior Choir, as
they took part in the annual services
at the Lady Elks at 3 p. m. and again
at the Church in the evening service
All services were well attended. Rev
Bryant was at his best Sunday night
Some of the outstanding thoughts in
his sermon Sunday night were jusl
what Christian service means. If
people only understood it fully, how
different they would be. If there are
those who are asleep in the Church
at the present time, they should real
; ly be aroused. They should be arous.
«d to the duty of giving full support
I to thhir Church, and the cause of
Christ. They ahould try to arouse
I the sinner, which is after all the
greatest work of the Christian.
St. John is always glad to see the

“THE EAGLE AND NOT THE JIMOROW IS OUR
NATIONAL BIRD
(From, th* Denver Star)
You can’t have prejudice, without, at the same time,
having hate and fear and selfishness.
We only rise above and out of prejudice when we rise
above and out of the thoughts and suggestions which
cause prejudice. We then clear our minds of the belief
in prejudice, hate and fear. Moral: Destroy the cause
of prejudice and you destroy the effect of that cause.
Jim Crow must go, sometime, somehow, why not, today?
Let’s you and I make America,just a little better by daily
preaching and practicing it. Prejudice is built on fear
selfishness and ignorance.
Be it resolved, for this year and all other years,
that I will face unpopularity for the sake of truth; I
will declare boldly my convictions though they make me
despised; I will cleanse my heart from all selfishness to
the end that the will of mankind’s common Father may be
more fully expressed through my life.” Let this be a lesson
to you.

GO TO HIGH SCHOOL!
A teacher at Evander Childs High School recently,
without solicitation, gave a colored girl student the follow
ing piece of advice: “Unless you intend to go to college,
you had better quit high school and go to a trades school.”
The girl in question is a member of one of New
York’s old colored families.
When she returned home she related to her mother
what the teacher had said. Unlike many Negroes who, un
der similar circumstances, usually indulge in criticism and
denunciation from afar, this mother visited Evander
Childs High School and demanded of the teacher an ex
planation for her impertinence.
The teacher’s protestations of friendly interest in
the colored student did not ring true and the irate mother
did not hesitate to frankly give the school marm a piece
of her mind. She expressed the opinion entertained by
many Negro citizens that there are some principals and
tachers in the employ of the New York Public Schools
who make it their business to discourage colored boys and
girls from finishing high school.
Whether such a vicious practice is a part of a das
tardly plot—a tacit understanding between narrow-mind
ed, prejudiced servants of the people—to retard the edu
cational progress of a group of citizens and deprive them
of their Constitutional advantages—is a uestion that
should be given serious consideration and careful inquiry.
The larger the number of colored high school gra
duates the larger the number of aspirants to teach in the
public schools of Greater New York seems to be the dom
inating thought which influences some principals and
teachers to voluntarily advise smart and ambitious color
ed students to quit high school and enter trade school.
Those of the race studying trades encounter great diffi
culty in securing employment after they finish their
studies because of the color line. Nevertheless, they should
continue to get what they want despite these disadvant
ages.
Another method of discouraging colored students
from continuing in high school is said to be their unjusti
fiable flunking by unfriendly teachers. Boys and grls who
believe that an injustice has been done them in examina
tions should see to it that their parents register a protest
with the proper school authorities—heads of the Board
of Education—if necessary. Similar action should be tak
en by parents whose children meet with the experience of
the Evander High School student.
Negro taxpayers of New York.do not have to stand
tor discrimination of this sort in our public schools. The
Board of Education does not encourage it, and city of
ficials would not stand for it if these un-American prac
tices were directed to their attention. Stifling the am
bition of any youth, no matter what his race, color or reli
gi°n may be, is a pretty low, contemptible thing to do.
WOULD UNITE LABOR UNDER
INDUSTRIAL ACT
Officers of Omaha Unions Catyed to
Meetig Sunday
To unite Omaha labor groups to
form a solid front on minimum wage
enactments under the federal indus.
trial recovery act, a special meeting
of all presidents and secretaries of lo.
cal labor unions has been called for
Sunday at 10 a. m., at Labor temple.
In announcing the call Wednesday,
Charles Nelson, president of the Cen
tral Labor union,, said.
“Common labor should receive 50
cents an hour under a stabilized in
dustrial program. The very lowest
minimum for the commonest of com
mon labor should not be below 40
cents an hour.”
Both Nolson and V. B. Kinney, edi.
tor of the Unionist, in whose office
an informal conference of local labor
leaders was held yesterday, were
hopeful for the labor outlook.
“I believe the government is going
to see it through this time,” said Nel.
son.
Large industrial groups have so far
avoided minimum wages and maxim
um working hours in formulating
their national codes, Nelson stated.
“But I am confident,” he added, “that
the government will not let them get
away with it.”
Organized labor consciousness has
been stimulated already in Omaha,
Nelson said.
“I hear that employes in several
fields which have never been organ
ized here are now talking about it.”
Kinney believes the government
may go so far as to demand that or
ganized employes from each industry
be represented at a national confer
ence before the code regulating that
industry is ratified.

1 black parents. He suffered from as

white. The asthma disappea/ed, his
hair and eyelashes became whiite. Af
